UP 1922 Summer Tours

Unlike later summer tour booklets that offered a half-dozen or more different escorted tours, this 1922 edition — the earliest one I have — details just one 14-day tour to Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain parks. It does suggest some possible “side trips,” including the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, California, southern Utah, and Jackson Hole.

The front cover is similar to the 1925 booklet, but the back cover (below) shows a different scene. Both of the front covers show a touring car sitting on the limestone formed by Old Faithful’s eruptions, but it is clear that this was added by an artist; no one today, and probably no one in 1922, would be allowed to drive on the weak and sometimes dangerous rocks around the geyser.
